Beg for More 04:59
What can you offer me? Nothing I can’t get for free. It’s like I’m ripping in two. None for me None for you. Stop playing games with my heart. I never wanted this to start. My blood was pumping peacefully. Somehow the blame’s on me. I’m alone with all the things that will not be. Disillusioned by what I want this to be. You’ve come for me this far, how can I not beg for more? Stop playing games with my heart. I never wanted this to start. My blood was pumping peacefully. Somehow the blame’s on me. You’ve gone the way I go. And I know I’m not much stronger at your door. You’ve left me hanging on. And I know I’m not this thing you left before. So much blame, so much blame. So much blame left for me.

Lovely Thing 03:18
Hello lovely thing Left an opening where all the light seeps in. This will break my heart. Doomed from the start. And you’ve got your life to live. It’s where I belong. Hello lovely thing. Left this hurting and I found the photograph. If you can keep this in. Hide the mess you’re in. Then I think we’re going to last. It’s where I belong.

Bass Player 03:29
Silence the word I fall apart He touched me And I wondered how I could Curious just how good. Poison this forgotten soul And I hope This won’t go wrong. I see you, see you I feel you, feel you In my arms. Light brush Light touch And I noticed. Say go Say go Cause I can’t control With you there in my arms. I can please you bass player.

Cauterize 04:02
Cauterize this haunting It’s everything Everything And I found a bad thing And I can’t feel home again. Kept you inside me It’s green again Green again And I feel you blocking Don’t leave me here Broken Inside Friends for life. Breathe again. Let love in. Cauterize this haunting It’s spreading To everything And I found a dead thing And I can’t feel Whole again Inside Friends for life. Breathe again. Let me in.

Save me Kind face Open that door. Fear love Crave death You open that door. And I keep up the show And I wanted you to know You’re always in this forgotten heart I hope we don’t grow too far apart. Bad dog. Why do you run away? Don’t hide it. Why do you run away? Please, don’t fight it. So far you’ve got the endlessness. Keep going. Comfort me Kind face Open that door. Wished by Blind faith It’d be you, me and god. Bad dog. And I keep up the show And I wanted you to know You’re always in this forgotten heart I hope we don’t grow too far apart.

Wound 02:38
Light out Lay down I’m cold Get out Come back For more And I wait again Say the opposite Have you gone too far? Will those lights go out in the end? Shedding a lifetime Soldiers die on the floor Bleed out Breakdown Unwhole Ride out Unrest You’ll know When will you begin? Say the opposite Like it’s gone too far Will the lights go out in the end? Shedding a lifetime Soldiers die on the floor Say it again, wash this wound Wash this wound of you.

Catch a falling star Put it in it’s place. Ripped myself apart. Find the opening. I’m alone in this. I’m alone in space. Watch a falling star Crash in outer space Look, you won’t go far. You’re the opening. I’m alone in this. I’m alone in space.

Deep inside I wanna know Keep my eyes from letting go Words escape these open lips Hope has left these fingertips Close your eyes. It’s the weather as it breaks. It’s the openings that shape. The involuntary quakes Watched you find your escape Close your eyes. Count to five.

Echo 05:50
All these echos darling I want to bury this with you now If I could feel this coming I’d choose it to be you still But I’m on my way. Tell me this ain’t love yet. Tell me that I’m broken. Say whatever comes to mind. Stop holding back. It echos in my mind Pretend it’s fine. All these echos darling I carry this with you now. There’s a sliver in my heartbeat Something new to die for Leave it be. Tell me this ain’t love yet. Tell me that I’m broken. Say whatever comes to mind. Stop holding back. It echos in my mind Pretend it’s fine. All the love in the world And you give yours To that girl You didn’t notice I was offering You didn’t notice I could feel the same. You didn’t notice me.

about

Nicole's sophomore album, A Stranger, draws on electronic influences such as Bjork, Goldfrapp and Arca. Paired with Rhombus’ Thomas Voyce as producer, the compositions centre around the Prophet 6 synthesizer and the raw confessional lyrical stylings Nicole is known for. The result is a gritty and dark album that reveals a new side of this singer-songwriter.
